MSN Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw has David Wojnarowicz’s Just a Little Bit of the Tin Drum Mentality, 1984 (collage, acrylic, wood stick, string and globe, 48 x 48 x 17 in,) in their collection.
PPOW Gallery suggests the work’s title is a likely reference to the film ‘The Tin Drum’ after the novel by Gunter Grass which David called “very strange and beautiful.” “Its symbols seem to index the arbitrary construction of our social order: maps, currency, advertising posters all point to a world attempting to rein in control, even as it continues to spiral out.”
MSN Warsaw is a public institution that collects works of art, and studies and disseminates the tangible and intangible legacy of contemporary culture. The museum cooperates with a range of groups and communities, as well as institutions in Poland and around the world.
